    • Any imported pedigreed dog will be considered as non-pedigreed if it is not registered with PSC. Import pedigree is not a valid document until or unless it is verified by PSC from the issuing country. Hence, PSC registration is a MUST.
    • Buyers must understand that if they buy an imported pedigreed dog which is yet not registered with PSC, pedigree of that dog can be fake. So any dog which is not registered with PSC shall not be bought from a non trusted breeder/source. If a dog's arrival into Pakistan is more than 6 months old, it should never be bought as pedigreed and imported dog because now it can not be registered with PSC as pedigreed dog even if it's all documents are legal and valid.
    • An imported dog can ONLY be registered in the name of importer whose name appears as owner on import pedigree and export documents. There after if the dog is sold, the ownership can be transferred to the next owner on a prescribed PSC form.
    • If a mated female is imported, which was mated following the breeding rules of exporting country, litter will be registered, provided there is a Export Pedigree and a valid Stud Certificate that the bitch was mated in exporting country.

  • Registration of Purebred Dogs (without Pedigree)

    • The owner must produce the dog before any PSC official Judges and the Judge would issue an Opinion Certificate saying that in his/her opinion the dog is a true representative of its breed.
    • The owner would submit the Registration Application along with the Judge's Opinion Certificate and two photographs of the dog, one showing profile and one showing front.
    • PSC would register the dog and issue the single dog pedigree showing ancestors as "Un-known". However, if any of the parent is registered with the PSC, its name will appear in the pedigree.
    • Dogs registered with the PSC can be used for breeding and shown in Shows.

  • Litter Inspections & Microchipping

    • As soon as a bitch is mated but not later than 10 days, the breeder will inform PSC giving the name and PSC number of the Dam and Sire. This information could be sent by SMS, WhatsApp, Email or by PSC website.
    • As soon as litter is born but not later than 10 days, the breeder will inform the PSC, giving address where litter could be inspected. This information could be given by any mean.

    Excellent may only be awarded to a dog which comes very close to the ideal standard of the breed, which is presented in excellent condition, displays a harmonious, well-balanced temperament, is of high class and has excellent posture. It is excellent as per international standards. Its superior characteristics in respect of its breed permit that minor imperfections can be ignored; it must however have the typical features of its sex.

    VERY GOOD

    Very Good may only be awarded to a dog, which possesses the typical features of its breed, which has well-balanced proportions and is in correct condition. A few minor faults may be tolerated but none of a morphological nature. This award can only be granted to a dog that shows class.

    GOOD

    Good is to be awarded to a dog that possesses the main features of its breed however showing weaknesses.

    SUFFICIENT

    Sufficient must be awarded to a dog which corresponds adequately to its breed, without possessing the generally accepted characteristics or whose physical condition leaves something to be desired.

    DISQUALIFIED

    This must be awarded to a dog which does not correspond to the type required by the breed standard; which shows a behaviour clearly not in line with its standard or which behaves aggressively; which has testicular abnormalities; which has dental flaw or a jaw anomaly; which shows a colour and/or coat imperfection or clearly shows signs of albinism. This qualification shall also be awarded to dogs that correspond so little to a single feature of the breed that their health is threatened. It should furthermore be awarded to dogs that show eliminating faults in regard to the breed standard.

    CANNOT BE JUDGED

    This rating is to be given to any dog which does not move, constantly jumps up and down on its handler or tries to get out of the ring, makes it impossible to assess the gait and the movement or avoids constantly to be examined by the judge and makes it impossible to inspect teeth, anatomy and structure, tail or testicles. This rating is also to be given if traces of operations or treatment can be observed which seem to indicate that the exhibitor wanted to deceive the judge.

  • Judging Procedure

    Class Judging

    Dogs and Bitches will be individually and separately judged according to their classes, starting with the Baby Puppies. The judge will grade all the dogs presented but will place the exhibits 1st, 2nd and 3rd only. The dog and bitch placed First in its class, irrespective of its grading will be called "Class Winner".

    Winner of Winners Bitch

    At the conclusion of judging all classes, the steward will call all the class winner bitches except winners of Baby and Puppy classes. At this stage, the judge will award Challenge Certificate (CC) to a bitch other than the winner bitch of Champion class. However, the award of CC is NOT automatic. If the judge feels that there is no bitch with "such a merit as to be worthy of becoming a champion", he may withhold a CC. Now the judge will select Winner of Winners bitch, which obviously will be either the winner bitch of Champion class or the one, which has received a CC. This will be the Best Bitch of the Breed.

    Winner of Winners Dog

    The above procedure will be repeated to select a Winner of Winner Dog i.e., the Best Dog of the breed.

    Note: To help judge ensure that a Champion Dog is not awarded a CC, the winner of Champion class, irrespective of its catalogue number will be placed first in the judging lineup, followed by winners of Open, Intermediate and Junior classes.

    Best of Breed

    After Best Dog of the Breed and Best Bitch of the Breed has been separately selected, the judge will select the Best of Breed and Second Best of the Breed.

    Best in Group

    After Best of Breeds of all the breeds in a particular Group have been selected, the steward will call and lineup all the Best of Breed winners for the judge to select the Best in Group and reserve Best in Group.

    Best in Show

    After all the ten Best in Group winners have been selected the steward will call all the Group Winners and line them up for the judge. The judge will select the Best in Show, the Second Best in Show and Third Best in Show.
